We Don' t Need Government

We really don't need government. All government functions can be privatized : prisons, schools, roads, parking meters, the list is long.

Chicago leased their parking meters to a private corporation in 2008 for a 75 year period. Parking in the downtown loop area now cost $6.50 an hour. A little further from the center of town is $4.00 and residential parking meters rates are a bargain $2.00 an hour.

When streets are closed for repair or to repair water and sewer lines, the city pays the corporation for lost revenue. Chicago currently owes 61 million for lost revenue.

We don't need government to provided services. Tax payers can just send their money directly to private corporations.
